Estee Lauder: House of Fraser Gift with Purchase

Every now and again a gift with purchase offer catches my eye and if it is with a brand I would usually be buying something from, then I stock up or if it would make a nice little gift for someone, then even better.

Estee Lauder as a brand needs no introduction, though it is a brand I am not all too familiar with, so given the opportunity to try one of their Gift With Purchase offers was just too good a chance to pass up.  Usually these offers are given when you buy any two products, usually skincare or makeup and then you get your gift, so always worth waiting for and keeping on the look out for these offers.
Estee Lauder: House of Fraser Gift with Purchase
This stunning cosmetic bag is packed fulled of products from the Estee Lauder range and for mini products, they are very generously sized and this is what I found inside the bag:


Estée Lauder Pure Color Intense Kajal Eyeliner - This is a sample sized Kajal eyeliner in Black and it comes with a protective lid covering. Despite being a sample size it still has an amazing value of £7

Unique water-based creme-gel refreshes you with a crisp herbal citrus scent. Rinses away easily and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth with no greasy after feel or oily residue.

Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Eye Sync Complex II - I absolutely love that this sample is an exact replica of the full sized version making it uber cute. The gel creme has a formula which is rich, luxurious and just disappears into the skin. Said to maximize the power of night to re-ignite the vital, youthful-looking light that can fade due to fatigue, pollution and age. Using the advanced formula with the exclusive ChronoluxCB technology, it helps significantly inhibit the appearance of visible damage: fine lines, crow's feet, dark circles, puffiness, dryness and uneven texture. This is a 5ml sample pot and is worth around £13.50

Estée Lauder Daywear Advanced Creme - Designed for Normal & Combination skin, it has SPF15 and contains Estee Lauder`s most effective anti-oxidant power ever, it defends against and diminishes the appearance of first signs of ageing, like dullness and fine, dry lines. After use, the skin feels smoother, looks fresher instantly. I love that this cream is so incredibly soothing when you apply it and I also love that it doesn't have too thick a texture which makes your skin feel like it is caked in cream. This is a 15ml pot which has a value of around £12

Estée Lauder New Dimension Shape + Fill Expert Serum - Described as being an innovative serum, it is said to make your Cheeks and jawline appear more lifted after just 2 weeks of use. Instantly leaving the skin feeling more radiant, plump and refined it uses breakthrough Shaping Technology and the advanced pro-collagen complex which to help improve both visible volume and structure. The texture of this serum is slightly thicker than other serums I have tried, but on the skin, you only need a small amount because it is a case of less is more and I feel that with such a bold claim, I really should put this one to the test! This is a 7ml ample with a value of around £12.50.

The final item in this bag is the Estée Lauder Pure Colour Envy Sculpting Gloss - I have a shade called Reckless Bloom. Infused with multi-dimensional optics, the lip gloss glides on effortlessly to deliver hydrating, subtle colour and mirror-like shine without stickiness. The shade itself is absolutely stunning and is a nudey pinky brown with fragments of sparkle. Perfect for wearing alone or over your favourite lipstick and as the description states, it is not at all sticky or tacky. This sample is just shy of a full size at 4.6ml (instead of 5.8ml) and therefore has a value of around £16.

For a sample bag to have a value of around £75 is amazing and I am so impressed with the size of each product and that the packaging replicates the full sized versions making them so much more appealing and eye-catching.  A great idea for anyone who has never used Estee Lauder before to become acquainted with the brand and try out some of the cult products as well as the newer ones too.
